Abstract:
OBJECTIVE. Pediatric CT angiography (CTA) can be useful for assessing numerous congenital and acquired disorders. This article discusses common pediatric applications of thoracoabdominal CTA, including for congenital pulmonary airway malformation, sequestration, vascular rings, aortic coarctation, pulmonary embolism, nontraumatic hemorrhage, abdominal transplant evaluation, and several vascular disorders, and highlights key clinical and imaging features. CONCLUSION. With appropriate use, CTA can play a fundamental role in diagnostic and preprocedural assessment in a variety of pediatric conditions.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
